Re: new upgrade FC2x2, up2date?
by Brian Bober
up2date freezes for me, too, sometimes. I heard there were issues with rpm and
the new 2.6 kernel. Dunno if that's the reason.

Where the fibre-cable enters my house, I've three boxes on the wall. First it enters a
box, model NIU-2D4TB from Dinh-Telecom (I couldn't find much info about it, except for
the fact that Dinh-Telecom is a Belgian company). Where there is a label "-5dB/1dB", a
coax cable exits and goes to a Motorola SB4200E SURFboard Cable Modem
http://broadband.motorola.com/catalog/productdetail.asp?ProductID=180). From there a
cable goes to a "5 Port Mini-Hub" (no model or vendor visible on the box). From there, 2
cables exit, one to PC1, the other to PC2.
>Is [the Windows] PC1 getting an IP address from your ISP?
Using the command "winipcfg" I get this information:
adaptoradress: 00-03-E1-40-35-90
IP-address: 81.83.45.35
subnetmask: 255.255.254.0
Standard Gateway: 81.83.44.1
>How many leases have you purchased from your ISP?
Have no clue... I subscribe to a service that allows me to have 2 PCs connected to the
internet, each one with their own IP-address. For those who understand dutch, the product
info page is: http://www.telenet.be/producten/internet/telenet_internet/duo/index.php
,and the installation layout is at
http://www.telenet.be/producten/internet/installatie/installatie_duo_quat... It
mentions that you only need a hub and no router, but no word about leases.
>Did you purchase the cable modem?
My ISP installed it, so I guess I lease it from them.
So it seems that what you said (that my hub won't do Network Address Translation [NAT]
and/or that my cable modem only allows for exactly 1 network card MAC address and
completely IGNORES other requests) is happening.
IF this is the case, I will likely go for option 2 you suggested (purchasing a 2nd
Network Interface Card [NIC] (~$10-20 US) for PC2, connect the cable modem to the machine
that has 2 network cards , connect the other card to the hub, set up NAT, install a
Firewall, and possibly reset my cable modem.)
Before I do this, are there any other checks that I can perform to know for certain that
this is the case. And can somebody tell me in detail what this lease thing is. If we're
positive, I will install the second NIC and tell how it goes,
Thanks for the good support until now, and looking forward to the feedback,
Jeroen

Sorry, my fault. It is in there, but I somehow didn't copy it.

Email Client....
by James Kosin
Everyone,
I found a really cool/free email client for Windows... Before eveyone
jumps on me... I'm using it to read the list and it does not have the
problems with GPG signed messages as OutLook does.
In fact, it has free Junk mail scanning and everything.
It is Mozilla Thunderbird 0.5 for Windows.
You can get it here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/
It was able to import all my OutLook mail and everything. Works
wonders... I've now fully retired Microsoft OutLook on my machine.
Everyone using Windows to check this mail list... Check out this FREE
email client.
Sorry to Plug MOZILLA so hard....

Re: kmail lost old folders/emails

OK, I've switched to a UK mirror (mirror.ac.uk).

OK - thanks for the tip.

Yes, I confess, I do over use the root account, and run Gnome desktop as
root.
I do know its bad, but I'm happy to do it.
Should it be a case of NEVER do this ?

Not sure what that is.
I run sendmail, and use Kmail to read the /var/spool/USER mail boxes.

Its a Logitech 3 button mouse - quite standard.
As the system boots, it flashes the LED's, five times.
It does this at two stages of booting.
I searched for what the 5xLED flash means, but I can't find anything (any
url's ?).
I assume it is linked to the mouse, as everything else works/boots fine
(keyboard is OK),
just the mouse does not respond.
John.

Fedora core 2 torrent for DVD iso doesn't do mediacheck
by Brian Bober
I believe that the Fedora 2 core 2 DVDs available through bittorrent should do
mediacheck automatically like Redhat 9 used to do, especially since DVDs are a
lot more fussy about dust and everything. I've had issues in the past where
dust on my burnt Redhat 9 DVD messed up the install, and of course it was when
I skipped media check. If I went back and ran media check, it'd fail. I'd clean
off the dust, then it would pass.

A issue of MySQL
by Shi-Ming Chen
Recently I upgraded my box from Redhat 8.0 to Fedora Core 1. There is a
MySQL server in this box, and I backuped my_table_name.[frm, MYI, MYD]
to a safe place. After installing FC1, I copied these backuped files to
/var/lib/mysql/my_db_name/, and it worked. But I lost some records!
When I use the sql command: SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM my_db_name, it shows
that the there is *3558* rows in my_table_name, but when I use: SELECT *
FROM my_table_name, it only shows *1816* rows!
How can I recover my lost rows?
Thanks.

install it.
Many thanks in advance

Drives not mountable with Maxtor SATA/150 (Promise) PCI Card and ATA100/133 drives
by Brian Bober
Fedora 2 Core test2
The drives connected to the standard ATA connector on the Maxtor SATA card
don't work within Fedora Core 2 test2. Since this card is new, I don't know if
it would have worked before. BIOS detects the drives.
I have a Maxtor SATA/150 card I got with my new 250GB ATA133 drive, and I want
to use it to put my two old hard drives on. It has 2 SATA connectors, and one
ATA 133 connector. I have two ATA drives connected to it on the ATA connector,
one is ATA100, and the other is ATA133. They are detected at boot. I can even
boot off them from the BIOS (but eventually I get a kernel panic). They are
listed in BIOS as something like SATA(IDE) -- there was more listed that I
can't remember. The 250GB ATA133 drive is hda and that's what Fedora is
installed on. The other two drives are on the card. They should be as
/dev/sda1, and /dev/sdb1 right?
Some excerpts from /var/log/messages:
Apr 1 15:32:03 localhost kernel: ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x4283A200 ctl

kmail lost old folders/emails
by John Walsh
Hi,
wrt: kmail
I had FC1 as per the CD ISO's installed and working for a day, I had coppied
my old
user accounts (from RH9.0) accross - totally replacing anything Fedora
created.
When I login, it says the 'Desktop' has changed, and its makes a link to the
old one,
and thats fine.
When I ran Kmail, all was well - it saw all the folders and emails I had
before.
Then yesterday I got all the latest packages through up2date:
yum fedora-core-1
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/$ARCH/os/
yum updates-released
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/$ARCH/
#yum updates-testing http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1
I don't think there was a new kmail, but I don't know if it is included as
part of another rpm...
Anyway, while it was downloading the rpm's (so it had not even installed
them yet, but maybe
rhn-applet-2.1.4-3.i386.rpm had been installed), I had kmail open and things
started to
go wrong.
First I got error messages when clicking on an existing folder, that it
could not read it, because
it was either not in 'maildir' format, or it did not have permissions to
read it (this is as root).
So I closed kmail and re-opened it - now it only has the default folders and
all the existing
ones don't show up.
Even in the inbox, new emails show up, but the existing old ones (that are
in the correct
place) do not show up.
All the filters and ID's are still in kmail, just fine, its just the folders
and emails that have gone.
Another note: that link to the old desktop that was made at the start, also
dissapeared.
Anyone any ideas ? Or have any questions ?
Thanks,
John.
ps. after the up2date, I don't use the latest kernel because it does not see
the mouse, so I'm
still running the original FC1.0 kernel 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

Authentication and SU
by Javier Perez
Hi.
I noticed that each time that I execute su and then gedit I get the
following warning:
(gedit:2378): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
Surfing Google i found the attached solution by Bruce Wolk, nevertheless
I wonder why does it work. In fact why do we need it at all?
I am not that good yet with scripts (I am newbie) but it looks
like it is executing gedit on an new shell session where the contents
of the current XUAUTHORITY were taken from root's .Xauthority.
Is it safe? And if that variable is important, why is it not changed
authomatically
when I execute su?
Also, I was checking for .Xauthority on my root directory and I saw not one
xauthority but several files starting with .xauth
Thaks!
Javier
------------------------------------------------------------
http://linux.derkeiler.com/Newsgroups/linux.redhat/2003-09/1193.html
Save the following script as something, say xroot. Then just
xroot gedit
You won't get the error.
*************
#!/bin/sh
if [ $# -lt 1 ]
then echo "usage: `basename $0` command" >&2
exit 2
fi
su - -c "exec env DISPLAY='$DISPLAY'
XAUTHORITY='${XAUTHORITY-$HOME/.Xauthority}'
"'"$SHELL"'" -c '$*'"
